Weekend Birthday Song


A belated happy birthday to the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger, who turned 75 (!) yesterday. An undeniably major force in rock & roll for five decades, Jagger's someone whose libertine public face and freewheeling personal life belies his conservative political views. Nevertheless, anyone with the backstory of Jagger and the Stones who made it to 75 deserves a tip of the hat, and this birthday salute (we eagerly await Keith's 75th birthday coming up in December!). Here is the original Stones lineup in 1965 performing "The Last Time" in Dublin at the Adelphi Theater. Hope you enjoy.

ENJOYED IMMENSELY!! THANK YOU! This music was my teenage years salvation! The British invasion was the best in R & R, for me.
Poor Brian Jones, never lived long enuf to enjoy.

FM - We always thought Brian Jones was the coolest, with the most mystique, followed closely by Richards and Watts. Glad you enjoyed!
